Moon Craters - Aristarchus
Moon Craters - Aristarchus
If we used to watching the full moon at night, then you might find some holes in the moon is quite clearly visible with the naked eye. That is the crater of the moon. Thousands of people just guess, such as whether the moon's craters.
But recently, a NASA satellite that was orbiting the moon, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, managed to photograph one of the largest crater and most shining brightly on the Moon, Aristarchus. Aristarchus crater is believed to be created as a result of a terrible collision between the moon by a comet or an asteroid 450 million years ago.
Aristarchus is the brightest moon crater that is located in the northwestern part of the Moon facing the Earth. Moon crater Aristarchus has a depth of about 3.2 km and a diameter of 40.2 km reach.
The crater on the moon is based on the images of the latest NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter resembles a giant pit mined on Earth, which shows a variety of mineral layer that surrounds the moon.
The following are recent pictures of the crater Aristarchus on the moon:
The scientists say that this crater is the best place to do research and exploration of the Moon, among others to find rocks that formed the Moon, geologic processes that occurred in the month and deepen knowledge about the Moon Rocks Granite. Moon Craters - Aristarchus

The explosion occurred the Sun Strongest
The explosion occurred the Sun Strongest
The explosion occurred on the sun spots Sun 1402, Monday (24/01/2012) at 10:59 pm. The explosion was the strongest since 2005, entered in the Class M-9 alias is approaching the highest class (X-Extreme).
As a result of the explosion, despite the high-energy particles and corona mass burst (CME) which expected to reach the Earth on Tuesday at 21:18 pm - / 7 hours. CME moving at speeds of up to 2200 km per second.
Astrophysicists Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency, Thomas Djamaluddin, said that the CME can cause sun storms that disrupt telecommunication systems, navigation, satellite functions, and the banking system.
"Navigation GPS satellite-based as well as the possibility of impaired accuracy, so do not believe in the position shown GPS (single frequency) if the alleged ionosphere disturbed by solar storms," said Thomas.
Another effect is the disruption of radio communications HF or short wave used for communication over long distances, such as foreign radio broadcasts such as BBC, VOA, and ABC.
Disturbances may also occur in mobile telecommunications, television broadcasting, and others. However, for this, usually the satellite operators have been anticipated.
AP reported on Monday, although the explosion is large enough, the storm caused the Sun may be only moderate in the classroom with a big trend. The worst affected area is probably the northern part of the Earth.
The impact of the worst solar storm ever occurred in the 19th century. At that time, the telegraph network disrupted. In addition, solar storms also caused power outages for nine hours in the region of Quebec, Canada. The explosion occurred the Sun Strongest
